How to make Philly Cheesesteak
Ingredients:
2 lbs beef (partially frozen bottom round roast)
1 onion
6 footlong bread rolls
10 slices provolone cheese
Beef Marinade:
1/2 Tbsp baking soda
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp garlic salt
1/2 Tbsp onion powder
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
2 cups of water
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Thinly shave partially frozen beef, using a mandoline slicer. You can use a sharp knife but a meat slicer makes incredibly thin steak shavings!
Add the beef marinade to the shavings and let it sit for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the griddle over high heat and dice the onions.
Sautee the onions in 1 Tbsp of oil just until it chars (1 minute.) I like to leave little bits of onion white for some texture.
Remove onions with a long grill spatula and set aside.
Slice the bread rolls 3/4 through and place face down onto the same hot griddle. Toast for 15-30 seconds and set toasted bread aside onto a large tray.
Drain the beef from the marinade (do not wash) and cook in 3 Tbsp of oil over high heat until the foam evaporates and the meat is thoroughly cooked and nicely browned (about 10 minutes.)
Turn off the heat and arrange the beef into 6 portions.
Top with cheese and allow it to sit until the cheeses melt (1-2 minutes.) This can be done in batches on a low setting if needed.
Scoop Philly cheesesteaks into the toasted bread rolls and top with the onions.
Serve with ketchup or horseradish sauce.
Notes
For Easy Slicing:
thaw frozen steak for 1-2 hours and start slicing, or if your beef is already thawed place it into the freezer and freeze for 30-40 minutes until semi-solid.
Bread:
I used my Homemade Subway Bread Recipe and omitted the Italian Herb and Cheese topping, to make plain submarine-style bread. You can use Hoagie rolls or any long baguette.
